Value Collection R57700635 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700635 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. Slotted spring pins, also called roll pins or slotted pins, are cylindrical fasteners with a lengthwise slot that allows the pin to compress during installation and exert radial pressure against the hole wall for a secure, vibration-resistant fit. This pin measures 2-1/2 inches in length with a 5/16 inch diameter. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet, chemical-exposed, or outdoor environments. It is installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and assembly mechanics working on mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment.

This slotted spring pin is used in mechanical assemblies where a reusable, self-retaining fastener is needed to secure shafts, levers, or linkages. Typical applications include industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, fluid handling components, and general mechanical assemblies. The spring action of the slotted design allows it to be driven into a drilled hole without adhesives or threading, making it well suited for production assembly and field repair work across a range of industries.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or chemical-exposed environments
• Slotted design compresses on installation, creating radial retention force without adhesives
• 2-1/2 inch overall length accommodates standard shaft and linkage assemblies
• 5/16 inch diameter fits correspondingly sized drilled holes
• Reusable and removable with standard pin punch and hammer

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted spring pin for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/16 inch diameter, 2-1/2 inch long roll pin in inch-measurement systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a pin punch and hammer or a hydraulic press; always match the punch diameter closely to the pin diameter to avoid deforming the slot. Ensure the receiving hole is drilled to the correct nominal diameter per standard slotted spring pin tolerances before driving. De-energize, depressurize, or lock out any machinery before replacing or installing fasteners in moving assemblies. Remove worn pins with a backing punch to avoid damaging the bore.
